Union Bank v. Toomer 2 Hill Eq. 27, Court of Appeals of Law and Equity of South Carolina (April 01, 1834) 1834 We do not think it necessary to investigate the first general question made in the Chancellor's decree respecting the validity of the bond executed by the deceased Mrs. Hall to Cochran for the security of Laval's debt, on which the plaintiffs have obtained judgement.

Walker v. May 2 Hill Eq. 22, Court of Appeals of Law and Equity of South Carolina (March 01, 1834) 1834 It appears to me that the only material question in the case is, whether the judgement obtained by John King against Margaret May and Edward C. Walker, as executors de son tort of Robert May, is valid as against Edward C. Walker, now adm'r. of Robert May, and binds the estate in his hands. It is agreed that Margaret May is dead, so that, in any...   Cases
